How do I operate the tilt mechanism?

Most tables feature a small brass catch or wooden wedge beneath the top that locks the surface into a horizontal position. Releasing this catch allows the table top to pivot upward on its central block. Once vertical, a secondary sliding bolt often secures the top in place against the pedestal to prevent accidental movement while stored.

Were these tables used for dining?

Larger breakfast and loo tables served primarily for morning meals, family gatherings, and evening card games in the reception rooms of 19th-century homes. Their folding capability allowed servants to clear large spaces quickly for dancing or other domestic activities. Smaller wine tables and occasional pieces were positioned beside seating to hold drinks, books, or small lamps.

How do I distinguish Regency from Victorian examples?

Regency pieces often display restrained neoclassical lines, featuring brass inlay, rosewood or flame mahogany veneers, and tapered pillar supports with reeded or sabre legs. Victorian iterations tend to be heavier and more robust, utilising burr walnut or heavily carved rosewood with elaborate scrolling pedestal bases and larger proportions.

How should I care for a polished wood surface?

Protect the timber from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent the natural wood veneers from drying out or splitting. Apply high-quality beeswax sparingly and buff gently with a soft cloth to maintain the lustre of the antique finish without building up greasy residues.
